“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference.”
The Serenity Prayer

Chronic STRESS dressed as ANXIETY is quickly becoming a curse of the 21st-century human. It is everywhere, brought to us by information overload, time crunches, work demands, recession worries, politics, heavy traffic, background urban noise, electromagnetic pollution, nearly poisoned water, GMO and estrogen-infested food, and what not. You can’t avoid it unless you retire into a desert, and even then…
The normal, preprogrammed reaction of our body to any stress is a “Fight-or-Flight” Response, or quick and strong activation of a Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS). This potentially life-saving mechanism, however, becomes detrimental to our health if dominates for too long suppressing the balancing and regenerative “Relaxation Response” in which the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS) dominates.
The generated by the “Fight-or-Flight” Response energy that supposed to give strength to our hearts, lungs, and muscles in order to avoid potential dangers (stressors) remains unused and accumulates mostly in our head, neck, and shoulders, where it stays for a pretty long time robbing the rest of our body. With time, chronic stress causes or complicates most of the disorders known to mankind.
Luckily we in the SKENAR world have a way to battle chronic stress better and faster than anyone else. We have the tools! We have the DOVE scenar, which at the moment is probably the most powerful device for immediate and lasting stress relief. By placing the DOVE scenar on just a few strategic points on the body you can get out of the SNS “Fight-or-Flight” Response and elicit the PNS “Relaxation Response”.
Click on the PDF icon on the left to download a 3 min Protocol – the Ultimate Stress Relief technique with the DOVE scenar. We call it the “DOVE skenar Relaxation Response”.
The Protocol also shows you some additional areas and techniques you can use for immediate stress relief if you have more than 3 min on your hands (including the famous “Little Wings” Technique).
Using other SKENAR or COSMODIC devices with this Protocol is OK too, but we still feel that the DOVE scenar works best for this particular application.
P.S. The attitude expressed in the Serenity Prayer is the best protection from Chronic Stress. If we would only be wise enough… But until then – there is the DOVE skenar Relaxation Response technique.
